How To Find A Contemporary Impressionist Artist

By Susan Morris


Unlike realism, impressionism is all about capturing the impression that the painter gets when looking at the scene that he or she is painting. This means things like light and wind and the way they move are focused on, and many other energy exchanges. A contemporary impressionist artist focuses on how their mind interprets the scene to make a painting that can touch the viewer most deeply.

This is a style that first emerged in France late in the 19th century. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Edouard Manet were a few of the well-known contributors and founders of this way of painting, and their work can still be seen today. These pieces serve as great examples and starting places in looking for a more modern impressionism piece.

One of the big parts of what makes these types of paintings stand out from the rest is the way it captures the energy of a scene. By going deep into their own mind and probing their own understanding of the scene, artists in this style can go beyond convention perspective. This allows energy exchanges in the scene like light and wind to be depicted.

It is easy to buy art online, but it is very important to make sure that the dealer, artist, or curator is trustworthy and accredited beforehand. This is not difficult to do as there are plenty of well-trusted sources to purchase paintings from. Now people of all income levels can afford to own beautiful art.

Just like any other type of artwork, the subjects or scenes of these paintings can vary as widely as the creator's imagination can stretch. This can mean anything from the classic rural countryside landscape to urban cityscapes, as well as interior scenes and ones focused on people. Sometimes it is interesting to learn what a particular artist's background is to possibly learn their motivation for making the paintings that they do.

Working on location serves a big advantage for anyone painting in the style of impressionism. This is because of the nature of the style itself, being focused on the painter's impression itself of the scene. While there is plenty of work that can be done from the quiet of a studio, in order to capture all of the light and wind movement, sometimes painting from a picture alone is not enough.

The brushstrokes that are used in this style are almost always loose and not very precise. This expressive way of painting allows the scene to be represented the way it actually looks when a person views it in nature. Sometimes this can cause some ambiguities in the painting and cause someone viewing it to mistake the scene for something else, and that is all part of the style of impressionism.

When looking through the many different artists, there are many credentials one can look at. Some artists are active members of different artists' organizations, and some even hold leadership positions. Generally, however, the most important thing to the buyer is whether he or she likes the art that the painter produces.
